Baby's first ARC!

I received my ARC of Audition this week, the US release of the English translation of a novel by Ryu Murakami that many of you might know as the book that was the basis of that creepy Japanese movie. I got it through Library Thing's reviewer program, but still. *bounces* I'm looking forward to it. I haven't read any other of Murakami's novels but I gather they can all pretty much be categorized under "seriously creepy social satire". Whee!

In other news the weather here still blows.

Yay, ARCs! Things I learned working in a bookstore: I will read nearly anything provided I get to read it first.

But that said, your ARC sounds promising! Let us know if it's worth picking up once it's released.

It may a little while. Among other reasons I'm not allowing myself to quit on Script Frenzy even though my progress is pitiful.
